Its also called having a selective memory. ;)The only thing which has stopped Denayer being a better player than he is at the moment is Jason Denayer. Sorry but I'm not buying this 'It's City's fault' crap spewed out by rote, he was a grown man then, not a young teen. I can't remember seeing Pellegrini holding down the lad while Denayor kicked him in the head.
I applaud your use of that word, well played, Sir.The only thing which has stopped Denayer being a better player than he is at the moment is Jason Denayer.

Our owners are very savvy when it comes to working around a system. I can guarantee we will still make a fortune selling players one way or another. Look at the clever way we dealt with FFP? I know UEFA still tried to mess us and other factions are still trying but they are failing to stop us growing and developing.City made a fortune from selling players they'd developed and who weren't good enough for our first team.
Stinks of the 'G' group of clubs with their Green eyed monsters having another complaint that City and Chelsea are doing something they wish they were doing.
It's not as if these players aren't earning money, and developing and helping the lower league clubs
Yeah getting young player of the year in his first professional season shocking....Its also called having a selective memory. ;)
JD was his own worst enemy.You could see he would make it somewhere but maybe his application at City wasn`t correct.How many managers did he fail to convince.
Anyway good luck to the lad now as he certainly showed his capabilities the other night.
Maybe thats what he needed ... a good kick up the arse.
It's a very poor argument. Maffeo barely features for Stuttgart, Angelino has failed in La Liga and became a regular starter only in terrible Ere. Both are clearly not good enough unless you wish City to become a midtable side.
Mooy... I hope you're not being serious.
And Gunn deserves much more than just being Ederson's backup.
Would that make the idiots who said Pep's system wouldn't work here before last season right or wrong then?

Was there a reason why Sancho didnt even get a sniff during peps first season. Can't remember if he was injured or not.Well that's a pretty lousy reply tbh.
None of the players listed have 'failed' anywhere & it's a pretty piss poor argument to say on one hand, the ex academy players are not good enough for our squad, but on the other hand ex academy players are too good for our squad.
This is typical of the ridiculous catch 22 shite people have been spouting on here for years.
In other words our academy players are not suitable for a place in our squad, in any circumstances no matter what they do.
As for Mooy; yes I'm desdly serious, he was comparable with our players when he played against us & would findbit much easier playing in our team. Ideal utility player, who we hwd already signed.
We just played a Champs Lg game with a young attacking midfielder who can't defend, playing fullback & displaying the passing range of Tony Adams
Angelino is as good as Mendy on the ball & equally as bad as Zinchenko defensively, therefore better than Zinchenko. Maffeo has already proven himself a perfectly adequate stand in right back, arguably our best player away at the swamp. Neither are ideal, both were free & in a well run system, would have been brought through as club produced players & spend a few years playing for City.
People can pretend this is all impossible, to suit their arguments but they are talking shite
If Pep was forced to start 3 or 4 of our former loan players in every game, he would find a way to make it work & we'd still challenge near the top.
The idea we can't have used one or two in our squad, is total shite.
If it's true that domestic loans aren't included in this quota it seems a pretty obviously targeted rule.Why do some people think that this is only being brought in to stop City alone ??
